I know a number of women who went to schools like Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, and Smith and found it to be a wondeful, productive, and fulfilling experience. They say it was nice to put men in the background for a few years and nice to come back to them later.

I attended an all-male college(not many of those left, are there). I can't say that it was a selling point of the school for me, but I sure did learn something from being in an all-male environment that I value today.
